Democratic strategist James Carville says a third-party candidate in the presidential race will get "a lot of f---ing votes" in 2024.

"The third party is going to get a lot of f---ing votes in 2024. I'm just telling you," Carville said. "Unless something really changes, and it's hard for me to see the change."

Carville made the comments on a recent episode of his "Politics War Room" podcast while speaking about the Iowa caucuses, which he did not view as overly impressive for former President Trump, who garnered 51% of the vote.

Carville said that the figure against what he views as "not overly impressive opponents" shows "substantial doubts among more than a sliver of the Republican Party" for Trump. He said the same is true for President Biden among Democrats.

"It's just hard for me not to see an uninspiring election with the third party doing really well," Carville said.

The strategist later said he feared such a scenario would take away votes from Biden and Democrats.

"I don't know that, but it's my great fear," he added.

Carville predicted if a third-party candidate ran in 2024, they'd get a "sh--load more" than 3% of the vote.

Carville has been outspoken about several concerns with regard to Biden. He previously said that leading Democrats told him to stop discussing the president's tough road to winning re-election while harping on his less-than-stellar poll numbers and popularity.

"Nobody is saying, 'James, you're wrong,'" he said in October. "They're saying, 'James, you can't say that.'"
